Excellent responses, but how would you sort the situation? I realise, Double Zero, that you let the bloke off and didn't say anything, but presumably you'd HAVE to make a complaint in airline flying. Do you just phone ops and say 'I'm not flying, 'cos my colleague is inebriated'? Or would you say he's just been 'taken ill'?
Any airline folks ever experienced this? Anyone familiar with the procedure? The airline I've applied for has now sent me all the various manuals to study, including Ops manuals, but there's nothing about this in those manuals.
